I feel like such an idiot

I ordered some items that I need from Target, but I ordered a pair of cargo shorts and forgot to set the size. I wear a size 32 and I ordered 36. I feel so stupid about that on top of all of the other anxieties I'm going through. I raged for at least a half hour. I kind of freaked my cat out with my raging. I finally got to the point where I figured out it's not the end of the world and I can just return the shorts. I think. That's what the website says, anyway. All of my anxieties just seemed to come out to join the pity party. One little click (or lack of a click) and everything feels like it's falling apart. I don't know if I'm OCD, but if one little thing goes wrong like this I feel like everything has gone wrong. I feel like such an idiot for the mistake and my reaction to it. Any other words of consolation would be greatly appreciated.

man i hear you. i get into those moods a lot too.. especially over little things. i have really bad anxiety so i get irritated easily, over being forgetful of something to just freaking out over small problems at work. i hate being so negative, because that negativity can really consume you. what i’ve been trying to do is some deep breathing. when i’m angry, my hearts racing and i’m getting myself worked up. if i can get into a meditative state for a little bit, it’ll 1. distract me for a bit and 2. slow my heart rate down so i can think logically about what’s pissing me off
